ReLeaf Designs began with a simple mission: to reduce waste by rescuing beautiful foliage cut during landscape maintenance that would otherwise end up in Miami landfills. With no commercial composting options for yard waste in Miami-Dade, we took matters into our own hands, bringing select leaves home and creating arrangements. As we delved deeper into sustainable floristry and biophilic design, we were shocked to learn that the same foliage we were saving—like monstera leaves—was being imported to Miami from other continents, often treated with pesticides and fungicides. It made no sense!

That is how our “green alchemy studio” was born! This is where we turn locally cut foliage and flowers into eco-bouquets and botanical art. We source all our plant materials locally, use natural, eco-friendly, and upcycled materials, and even started a micro-farm of our favorite plants with our own compost. We also incorporate locally grown live plants like succulents and air plants into our designs, often combining them with coastal treasures like sea shells, inspired by our love for the water as well as the land.

ReLeaf Designs is proud to be a women-owned, family-run business. Our studio is located on the ancestral homeland of the Tequesta and current Seminole and Miccosukee peoples, whose stewardship of the land and water we honor. We are committed to working with all South Florida communities to create sustainable art and foster a more equitable world.
